CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Sophomore Andrew
Campbell of the Harvard lightweight crew, who has excelled this
summer as a sculler for the United States, is a nominee for United
States Olympic Committee Male Athlete of the Month.

Campbell, who recently won medals at the World Rowing Under 23
Championships and the USRowing National Championships and qualified
for the World Rowing Championships, is one of 17 nominees for the
honor. His competition includes such accomplished athletes as
runner Bernard Lagat, swimmer Ryan Lochte and tennis player Mardy
Fish.

The 19-year-old from New Canaan, Conn., has had a busy and
successful last month. Campbell captured two medals at the USRowing
National Championships, winning gold in the lightweight single and
bronze in the lightweight double alongside Austin Meyer
’12-13. He added another bronze in the lightweight single at
the World Rowing U23 Championships.

The biggest regatta of the summer still awaits Campbell. He will
be the U.S. representative in the men’s lightweight single at
the Word Rowing Championships later this month. He earned that
berth with an impressive win at the U.S. Senior World Championships
Trials, where he defeated the field—including a two-time
Olympian—by more than three seconds.
